back for their home. But they and all
of Peter's band are seized by the pi
rates and carried to their back flag
sloop, where they prepare to kill them.
Now Peter appears and rescues his
band. They throw the pirates into the
sea. Peter engages Hook and throws
him overboard, where the crocodile is
paitently waiting to eat his other hand.
The Darling children at last reach
home in safety. Wendy begs Peter to
remain, but he urges her to come back
to him to Never-Never, Never Land,
where there are no mothers to tuck you
up in bed at night. Peter still does
not want to grow up, so he flies away
to his home in the tree tops. There
Wendy visits him every year to do his
spring cleaning. The closing scene, full
of fairy charm, is in the tops of the
trees, where Peter's little home hangs
in the moonlight among the glancing
insects and the colored radiance of the
spring night. And Peter Pan, un
speakably graceful and Ideal, plays his
reeds in this atmosphere of spring, of
fairydom and of youth.
As is to be imagined, the production
of the play is a very elaborate one. All
of the settings are picturesque. Mr.
Frohman has surrounded Miss Adams
with a carefully selected company of
well known players.
The sale of seats opens Monday at 9 ;

‘•THE COMMON LAW" COMES TO
THE ATLANTA NEXT WEEK
The greatest amount of favor at
tained by Robert W. Chambers' won
derfully successful book, "The Com
' mon Law," Is mainly due to the inter
{ eat shown to Its pages by the gentler
! sex. essentially "The Common Law" is
j a woman’s story. Hr.-w?, tn making
•preparations for its dramatization, tne*
management was mindful of that fret
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 16. 1912.
and aimed steadfastly in the direction
of making the play a woman's play,
for. after all, much depends upon thr
woman's world for stage success.
"The Common Law" is announced
for a hearing in this city on next Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday, Novem
ber. 18 19 and 20. with a matinee on
Wednesday, and unless signs fail there
will be a record crowd in attendance to
get further acquainted with the story
that has awakaned more discussion than
any in the last decade.
The fullest attention has been given
toward making the production one of
consummate artistic splendor, and a
company of players has been engaged
altogether capable oi rendering a per
formance which should prove both
gratifying and unforgetful.

"THE HEART BREAKERS" IS
BOOKED FOR THE ATLANTA SOON
Among the successful musical come
dies of last seafson, "The Heart Break-,
ers," which wi/1 be seen at the Atlanta
Tuesday and Wednesday, November 26
and 27, rankfd among the first. The
cast will tfl'lll be headed by George
Damerel, wfnom the theatergoers of the
country w/11 remember for his clever
; performance of the Prince in the “Mer-
ry Widow)''
BIG FEAIURE BILL IS BOOKED
FOR THE GRAND NEXT WEEK
There is more Interest in vaudeville
i now thifn at this time last season, fig
ures prove these facts, for the Grand
has played to several hundred, more
people, in the eight weeks the big the
ater has been devoted to the .high-class
Keith vaudeville, than the first eight
weeks of last season.
I'or next week th" seven acts that

t
packing big theaters in the large cit
ies. Daniel Frohman will make his
’ first vaudeville presentation here in the
■ introduction of his "Detective Keen"
| filiylet. T!i< sketch was written by
Percival Knight, the- leading comedian
of "The Quaker Girl.” and is being
plgyed by Arthur Hoops, assisted by
Miss Ruby HotTiiV.il>. The others in
the cast W'U be Alfred Hollingsworth,
William Slider and Sterling t’heseldlne.
The novelty was first produced at the
annual actors hen- fit last season in New
York and later in Chlctigo. The suc
cess Then brought inducements for a
vaudeville tour. It is called a "Raffles
; Arsene Lupin’ sketch and the story
1 deals with the theft of :i valuable gem,
I from the hous-!’."ld of a collector of .
I rare jewels. The iiolice send one de- .
I tective after another to work on the
ease, and how the fortune is recov
ered, and gi ts away again, is very in
teresting. The play runs about half an
hour and is crowded with thrills and
surprises.
The next important feature will be
the introduction of Eddie Leonard, the
minstrel star. whose singing and danc
ing has never been eclipsed, since the
day he made his Hr: t great hit with
the Cohan & Harris minstrels. The
dancer will be assisted by Mabel Rus
sell. who is one of the most charming
entertainers in America.. The little lady
is a great part of the act, but of course
Leonard is the star. There is no other
entertainer in the land who dances so
well as this man. and his peculiar way
of singing a song has been imitated by
.some of the present-day high-salaried
people of musical cojnedy and vaude
ville.
The third big feature will be an
acrobatic stunt, not the stereotyped Sort
but a quartet of clever Japanese, the
Ishikawa Brothers, who. with magnifi
cent costumes and interesting Stage
mountings, will offer what Is conceded
to be the most interesting performance
of its sort in vaudeville.
With*these three features the Grand
litis the foundation for a great per
formance, but there are four other acts
that will have something to do with the
' record-breaking. A good comedy idea
will be introduced by Harry Divine and
Miss Williams, in their skit, "The Trav
eling Salesman and the Female Drum
mer.” It is conceded that nothing fun
ner has been put up in vaudeville.
Joe Whitehead, a comedian of the |
Fitzgibbon-Dooley type, will be on the
bill, and promises to get the audience
in a good humor early. He is a new
comer, but is sure to enter the favorite
class. The Willis Family, two broth
ers and their sisters, will offer a musi
cal treat, and the Booth Trio, in a
comedy novelty, will also appear.
Seats for the Grand are in great de
mand, and with such stars as Juliet,
Mclntyre & Heath and Edna Goodrich
and company now on their way to the
big theater, the season will soon lind

BEULAH POYNTER WILL BE
LYRIC'S NEXT ATTRACTION
At the Lyric theater next week Miss
Beulah Poynter will be seen in two
plays. The first half will be devoted to
her latest success. “A Kentucky Ro
mance,” while the latter half, com
mencing with Thursday’ matinee, will
be her forme)' great play. “Lena Riv- I
ers.” dramatized by herself.
“A Kentucky Romance" is an ap
pealing play, full of touching pathos
and ge >d, wholesome humor—a tale of
aristocracy and poverty in Kentucky,
of a girl mistreated and beaten by her
drunken father, of a young aristocrat
in love with her. of his proud mother
trying to induce him to marry’ another
woman for her money—a sad combina- |
I lion, but. everything turns out as it
I should, and "all's well that ends well.” I
The play leans strongly to sentiment, |
but there is a pleasing vein of comedy !
running throughout the piece? which
adds to its popularity. The author.
Joseph Leßrandt, has drawn his char i
acters skillfully and has developed his I
situations to powerful climaxes in an I
artistic manner. .
Miss Poynter, always careful of her I
supporting east, has the best balanced ;
company this season that she has ever i
carried, all members chosen with a i
view to capably filling their respective
parts.
The matinees will be as follows:
Tuesday matinee—“A Kentucky Ro
mance.”
Thursday and Saturday matinee—
“Lena Rivers.”
"THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS” |
IS COMING TO THE LYRIC SOON I
Harold Bell Wright, the author of I
“The Shepherd of the Hills,” which j
comes to the Lyric week of November
25, is conceded to be the most popular'
American novelist. No modern au
| thor's books have had anything like
the sale that has been accorded Mr.
Wright’s works.
Nearly every one Is familiar with
the characters in "The Shepherd of
the Hills.” They are people out of the
ordinary run of life, people whose veins
run good, riejh. red blood. They do
things in a natural, human way; they
love and hate with deep passion.
EMMA BUNTING AT FORSYTH
IN "THE TWO ORPHANS”
Nothing could be mole thoroughly
pleasing to thousands of playgoers than
I the announcement that little Emma
Bunting and her players would present
“The Two Orphans” at the Forsyth
next week, and that for the following
wek the bill would be "Merely Mary
Ann." t
There has been- the keenest sort of
appreciation of the work of Miss Bunt
ing since her return to Atlanta, and in
six short weeks the dainty little star,
with the assistance of the.most capable
stock company that h..s ever been seen
here, has added to her establishecl cll
entelle the most representative people
lin Atlanta, until the Forsyth has
•el.'peed its past attendance records' in
selecting "The Two Orphans” for next !
week’s bill, Miss Bunting is respond- |
ing to perhaps the greatest appeal that |
has been registered that any artist play j
a certain piece.
It will be recalled that only recently
one of the greatest producing managers
in America selected an all-star cast for
the production of the play and that it I
broke theater records wherever pre
Bunting tn "The Two orphans” will !
eclipse all past successes. There is i
hardly a theatergoer who is not famil- I
iar with the beautiful story of “The
Two Orphans.” There has never been
another play like it produced on any
stage. It has a clinging grasp on’the
hearts of the people all over the world.
It lias been .tears since it was seen in]
Atlanta.
Miss Bunting is perfectly qualified
for the leading role. It is a hit away
from the sort of character she is usu
ally called upon to portray, but it is
just what suits her to a tine point.
George Whitaker has been cast for a
part that will help him prove that he ;
is a qualified and versatile leading man.
The actor has become more popular
during the winter season, and his work
has drawn the most hearty approval.
Leopold Lane. David Herblin, Jack
Kingsbury, Richard Lyle and Leslie
Webb has been given important assign
ments that they promise good returns
for, and Bertha Leigh. Ann Gridley and
Nina Saville will be seen in parts that
suit their hrtistic ability.
Stage Director E. M. Leonard has
given personal attention to the detail
of production. The play will be in sev
eral acts, and a number of tableaux,
land the most perfect detail will lie fol-
I lowed. The stage productions that have
| been given during the season have
I spoken strongly for the ability of the
■ director and his staff of stage me
chanics and scenic artists.
JAP ACROBATS BOOKED
AS BIJOU HEADLINER
As a special novelty feature for next
week the Bijou management lias book
ed as its headliner the Yoschino Japs,
one of the best troupes of Japanese
acrobats on tic- vaudeville stage today
As a second feature tin management
hag secured Lewis, Griftin and Lewis in
their latest comedy Itlsh success, "The
Prima Donna, Tad and Soubrette," in
troducing exceptionally good haimony
singing, dancing and comedy. To these
will be added Goforth & Doyle, In "A
Study in Black and Tan,” and Norman,
; tho frog man, America’s most sensa
tional contortionist. Norman’s work in
i the costume of a frog Is not only orlgi-
■ nal, but remarkably clever and he does
some stunts that would seem almost
I beyond the power of human to attempt,
i To open and close each performanca
I the best of motion pictures will be se
| leeted. Matinees daily tit 3 o’clock,
I except Saturday, when matinees are
I given at 2:31> and 4. Night shows at

I Jury found the charge proved, and in

I“4 e’re not only guilty, but ye Corns
